Abstract : Esterification represents one of the most important reactions in chemical industry and the esters produced have applications in a variety of areas such as plasticizers, flavours and fragrances, pesticides, solvents, medicinal and surface active agents. Esterification reactions proceed with or without a catalyst. In the absence of the catalyst, the reaction is extremely slow, since its rate depends on the autoprotolysis of the carboxylic acid. Therefore, esterification is carried out in the presence of a acid catalyst which acts as a proton donor to the carboxylic acid. These reactions are generally carried out in batch reactors in the presence of with supported heterogeneous catalysts. The esterification of acetic acid with n-butanol was studied in the presence of solid acid catalyst such as MoO3/SiO2. The effect of various parameters such as temperature, mole ratio, catalyst loading loadings were studied Keywords : n-butyl acetate, acid catalyst, MoO3/SiO2
